telus blocks ringtones

hey guys, does telus really blocks ringtones uploaded to phone from pc or bluetooth ? cuz i cant set any files for ringtone...

yes they do block it, basically, to force you to download their ringtones...do some research on your phone there is probably a way to unblock that feature, will probably require use of a data cable.

thanks for the reply, it took me quite a while but i got it to work now. dam telus.......

Hey Faith what kind of phone are you using?

iam using the lg venus.
u?

nokia 6265 at the moment, I love it.

I'm leaning towards the RAZR2.

You'd need to download BitPim and a Hexconverter in order to put Ringtones on your phones, i've done it successfully on my LG Chocolate Flip.

speaking of Nokia, their new phone provided by rogers it looks very nice "N95" with 8gb mem, and its currently out of stock......

Hexconverter eh? i'll see if i can even work the program.....
thanks

how did you figure it out? im with telus and i have the lg chocolate vx8600 and cant put ringtones on my phone!

hi there what phone do u have is it a motorola v710? can u please help me out coz i wanna get mine working too,tried to use bit pim to delete 2 files but no go....can u show me a guide please thanks

ok iam using lg venus 8800vx., shelsie i think for the chocolate u have to use bitpim as well.
i dont have th chocolate so it might work differnet, but when i was searching for answers for my phone, i came across this site forums.mobiledia.com/topic55395_html (_=.) since i cant put site address.....
hope this helps. u should be able to get it working. They r using telus as well..

b18c sry dude , i dont have the motorola v710
but if ur using bitpim did u add ringtones by adding ringtones in the "bitpim->phone->media->ringers" in the interface ?

no i did nit try using bitpim,i don't know the steps for my phone and i'm hoping someone can help me out here and i will appreciate it and i'm sorry for the newbie question,

if ur model is 710, then load the bitpim program, then connect phone (not in data mode), then click on "edit" go to "settings" after this select your phone type and model # then click ok. now click on file system (make sure under "view" view filesystem is clicked) and find the folder where the ringtones are located, mines differnet than urs. So i dont know the exact folder for the ringtones r.

i did that with bit pim i view file system then delete 2 files the MyToneDB.db and TmpTneDB.db but i can't still play my own ringtones or maybe coz my ringtones is coming from my tflash just moved to the phone,coz theres no other way for me to transfer ringtones through the computer coz telus blocked it i can't use mpt or p2k commander coz it won't let it,iee seen seem edit but it looks complicated to me,i'm just wandering if u can give me a correct link for telus v710 coz the one that i can always find is for verizon i know it's cdma as well but still coz i heard that only works for verizon.....thanks

i finally got it working just seem edit it and it's all good
